CO 124(136)144(154)168 sts using the smaller size ndls and work ribbing on the WS, as follows: k2, p3 (k2, p3) p3 (p2) p3, *k3, p3 , rep from * 0(1)2(2)3 more times, k2, **p2, k2, rep from ** 24(24)24(27)27 more times, *p3, k3, rep from * 0(1)2(2)3 more times and p3, k2 (p3, k2) p3 (p2) p3. Work in est. rib stitch pattern for 3 cm/1.2”.

Change to the larger size ndls and continue working row 1 of cable pattern acc to chart: p2, k3 (p2, k3) k3 (k2) k3, *p3, k3, rep from *0(1)2(2)3 more times, work section A (=7 sts), section B 1(1)1(2)2 times [= 6(6)6(12)12 sts], section C (= 21 sts + 2 sts), section D 8 times (= 32 sts), section E (= 2 sts + 1 st), section F (= 21 sts + 2 sts), section G 1(1)1(2)2 times [= 6(6)6(12)12 sts], section H (= 7 sts), *k3, p3, rep from * 0(1)2(2)3 more times and k3, p2 (k3, p2) k3 (k2) k3. In this row, 5 sts are increased and there are now 129(141)149(159)173 sts (please note that the number of stitches in sections D-E varies depending on the row). Work in est. rib st pattern at the beg and end of each row and work cable pattern acc to rows 2-9 across the sts in the middle. When work measures 36(37)38(39)40 cm / 14.2(14.6)15 (15.4)15.8”, BO for armhole shaping, as follows: at the beg of each of the following rows, BO 5(5)6(8)10 sts twice, BO 3 sts twice, BO 2 sts 2(2)4(6)6 time(s) and BO 1 st 2(6)6(6)8 time(s) = 107(115)117(119)127 sts.

When armholes measure 16(17)18(19)20 cm / 6.3(6.7)7.1(7.5)7.9”, place the middle 39(39)39(41)41 sts on hold for neckline shaping and work each shoulder separately. In every 2nd row, BO 2 sts 2 more times, at the neckline edge.

When armhole measures 18(19)20(21)22 cm / 7.1(7.5)7.9(8.3)8.7”, BO the rem 30(34)35(35)39 shoulder-sts. Work the second shoulder in the same way, but reverse shaping.

Front

Work in the same way as described for back, until armholes measure 8(9)10(11)12 cm / 3.2(3.5)4(4.3)4.7”. Place the middle 31(31)31(33)33 sts on hold for neckline shaping and work each shoulder separately. At the neckline edge, in every 2nd row, BO 3 sts once, 2 sts twice and 1 st once.

When armhole measures 18(19)20(21)22 cm / 7.1(7.5)7.9(8.3)8.7”, BO the rem 30(34)35(35)39 shoulder-sts. Work the second shoulder in the same way, but reverse shaping.

Sleeves

CO 76(80)86(90)98 sts using the smaller size ndls and work ribbing on the WS, as follows: p3 (k2, p3) p2 (k1, p3) p2, *k3, p3 , rep from * 1(1)2(2)3 more times, k2, **p2, k2 , rep from **10 more times, *p3, k3 , rep from * 1(1)2(2)3 more times and p3 (p3, k2) p2 (p3, k1) p2. Work in est. rib stitch pattern for 2 cm/0.8”.

Change to the larger size ndls and continue working row 1 of cable pattern acc to chart: k3 (p2, k3) k2 (p1, k3) k2, *p3, k3 , rep from * 1(1)2(2)3 more times, work cable pattern (46 sts + 2 sts), *k3, p3 , rep from * 1(1)2(2)3 more times and k3 (k3, p2) k2 (k3, p1) k2. In this rnd, 2 sts are increased and there are now 78(82)88(92)100 sts. Work in est. rib st pattern at the beg and end of each row and work cable pattern acc to rows 2-9 across the sts in the middle.

When work measures 3(3)4(4)3 cm / 1.2(1.2)1.6(1.6)1.2”, inc 1 st at the beg and end of the row, as follows: work the first st in pattern, M1 (knitwise or purlwise, depending on the ribbing), work in pattern to the last st, M1 (knitwise or purlwise), work the last st in pattern. Rep these inc’s every 1(1)1(1,5)2 cm / 0.4(0.4)0.4(0.6)0.8” 4(4)4(4)3 more times = 88(92)98(102)108 sts. Work the increased sts in rib stitch pattern.

When work measures 8(8)9(9)10 cm / 3.2(3.2)3.5(3.5)4”, BO for sleeve cap shaping at the beg of each row, as follows: 5(5)6(6)8 sts 2 times, 3 sts 2 times, 2 sts 2(2)4(4)6 times, then dec 1 st at the beg and end of every 2nd row 14(15)16(17)16 times, and at the beg of the next 4 rows, BO 2 sts twice and 3 sts twice. BO all rem sts.

Work the second sleeve in the same way.

Finishing

Place the sweater inside out onto a flat surface acc to measurements, dampen and leave to dry. Close shoulder seams.

Neckline border: place the held sts of front and back neckline back onto the ndl and PUK extra sts along rest of neckline, to a total of 120(120)124(124)124 sts. Work 2/2 ribbing in the round for 2.5 cm/1” and BO all sts in pattern.

Close side- and sleeve seams. Sew sleeves in armholes.

Weave in all ends.
